Early life and education
Teta was born on August 11, 1941, in Saint-Étienne, France by parents originating from Përmet. He completed his primary education at the 7-year-old school "Ylli i Kuq" in Tirana's suburb of Laprakë. Later he attended the Polytechnic University "7 Nëntori", branching in mechanical engineering. From 1959–1961, he studied aircraft engineering in the Soviet Union. [1]
